Abstract

A power supply circuit is capable of providing power to a video card chipset. The video card chipset includes a first power supply pin and a second power supply pin. The power supply circuit includes a power input, a first filtering circuit, and a second filtering circuit. The first filtering circuit is connected between the power source and the first power supply pin to filter the power provided to first power supply pin of the video card chipset. The second filtering circuit is connected between the power source and the second power supply pin to filter the power provided to second power supply pin of the video card chipset.

Description

3 parts
›BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure related to power supply circuits, and particularly to a power supply circuit for a video card chipset.

2. Description of Related Art

With the rapid development of computer technology, more and more people use computers throughout the work day. Therefore, it is important that the display function works well and provides clear images to prevent causing eye strain or other problems for people.

In a computer system, a video card chipset transmits signals to the display. When power provided to the video card chipset is not stable, the signals provided to the display will not be stable and interfere with image quality of the display.

Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

›BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 1 is a block view of a power supply circuit for video card chipset.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the power supply circuit of FIG. 1 .

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a power supply circuit for a video card chipset 30 includes a power input 51 , a first filtering circuit 52 , and a second filtering circuit 53 . The video card chipset 30 is connected to a display 60 , and provides signals to the display 60 . In one embodiment, the power input 51 provides a +1.8V voltage.

The first chipset 30 includes a display digital quiet power supply pin VCCDQ_CRT and a display digital power supply pin VCCD_CRT. The power input 51 is connected to the pin VCCDQ_CRT via the first filtering circuit 52 and connected to the pin VCCD_CRT via the second filtering circuit 53 . The first filtering circuit 52 and the second filtering circuit 53 are capable of filtering the power provided to the pins VCCDQ_CRT and VCCD_CRT. Therefore, power provided to the computer is stable.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the first filtering circuit 52 includes a first resistor R 1 , a second resistor R 2 , and a first capacitor C 1 . The first resistor R 1 and the first capacitor C 1 compose an RC circuit. One end of the RC circuit is connected to the power input 51 . The other end of the RC circuit is connected to an end of the second resistor R 2 . The other end of the second resistor R 2 is connected to the pin VCCDQ_CRT. In one embodiment, resistance of the first resistor R 1 is 10 ohms, resistance of the second resistor R 2 is 1 ohm, and capacitance of the first capacitor C 1 is 1 microfarad.

The second filtering circuit 53 includes a first inductance L 1 , a second capacitor C 2 , a third capacitor C 3 . One end of the first inductance L 1 is connected to the power input 51 . The other end of the first inductance L 1 is connected to the pin VCCD_CRT, one end of the second capacitor C 2 , and one end of the third capacitor C 3 . The other end of each of the second capacitor C 2 and third capacitor C 3 is connected to ground. In one embodiment, inductance of the first inductance L 1 is 10 microhenries, capacitance of the second capacitor C 2 is 4.7 microfarads, and capacitance of the third capacitor C 3 is 0.1 microfarads.

It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
